Ford hasn't yet released the official production numbers for the 2012 Boss Mustang, but a bookstore might have. Yeah, you read that correctly. Borders, the bookstore chain, may have inadvertently released the Boss's planned production numbers. How? By producing a preview to an upcoming book, Boss...

The hottest of Audi's TT lineup will finally be making its way to America, due here in the third quarter of 2011. The credit is due in part to a Facebook petition called "Bring it to the U.S." which saw 11,500 signatures over the course of a month. If you're not up to speed on the TT-RS, you ought...

Ford's own 2011 Mustang GT is no slouch, rated at 412 horsepower and delivering every bit of it. Then there's the Mustang Shelby GT500, with a massive supercharged 550 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. But if simply ripping the rear tires' tread from their carcasses isn't enough for you, the...

It's one thing to see a rally car and its occupants flying through a stage at breakneck speed. It's wholly another to see how they prepare for the feat, running the recce, making pace notes, figuring out their own language for each element. This video covers it all. If you missed the announcement...

The Fiat 500 is just over two months from retail sale here in the U.S., and now Chrysler has revealed the first image of the new car in Sport trim. We've already known the 500 would get an upgraded platform for the U.S., and that up to four different models would be sold, but this is our first...

Citing new regulations for 2011 that allow its car to be competitive against the diesels of Peugeot and Audi, Aston Martin is planning a re-entry to Le Mans next season.

We know most of the key details of the 2012 Mustang Boss 302 from its unveiling at Pebble Beach last month. But until now, we haven't seen Ford's plans for production quantities. The source of the leak? Borders book store, if you can believe it. A description for a book to be published next year...

As you've seen across the High Gear Media empire of automotive Web sites, we've spent some quality time with the 2011 Hyundai Equus. In fact, we've driven it once in what was clearly "not a first drive" and then a few months ago in South Korea. Now, we've had a shot at the final production Equus...

It's hard to envision a portly hatch with a total output of 134 horsepower as "sporty," but that's the ostensible "dark side" to the 2011 Lexus CT 200h, and today we have the full details on the car, including acceleration, efficiency and emissions figures, courtesy of Lexus. Zero to 60 mph comes...

John Z. Delorean and Pontiac: two names lost to the vagaries of time but which still live on through their sometimes awkward, sometimes brilliant progeny. Today, one car up for auction ties both legacies together in one surprisingly impressive package: the 1964 Pontiac XP-833 Banshee prototype. And...

Nissan could be going all-electric with its flagship Nissan GT-R.

If you're a sports fan, you know Floyd Mayweather Jr. as a boxing legend. If you're a Dancing With The Stars fan, you know Floyd Mayweather Jr. as that buff dude who got axed pretty early in season five. And if you're a news junkie, you know Floyd Mayweather Jr. as the guy who paid an extended...

Every other year the Paris auto show packs in some of the world's most impressive concepts and new model debuts, and this year is shaping up to be no different, despite the tepid climate in the global market. Audi in particular is expected to have some hot concepts on display, with the latest...

We first heard about the Arash AF10 more than three years ago when an early prototype was rolled out at the 2006 London Motor Show. Since then the company behind the original prototype has undergone several management reshuffles and spin-offs, but it has now confirmed the final design for its...

BMW's 1-Series M car has made so many laps around the Internet you'd think it was running the world's biggest endurance race, but thanks to a post from an insider at the BMW Power of M 2010 event, we may have some new details on the upcoming smallest M car. Postings on Internet forums are typically...

Few rites of passage get landmark status in a car fan's life. There's nothing in a car life like the birth of a first kid or the signing of a first mortgage--unless you have to do both just to get that "classic" Zimmer QuickSilver back on the road after Granddad left it to rot in a barn in New York...

Stretch your memories to go all the way back to the end of August, when Labor Day actually held the ironic promise of a few days off. Faked you out, didn't it? Us too. Still, we fondly recall those days of just three weeks ago with a touch of nostalgia. After all, it was the first time the wraps...

It looks like MINI UK has pulled a big about-face on the Paris design concept and related competition for tickets to the September 23 unveiling, pulling the photo from the Facebook page and saying the car is nothing but a standard Countryman. The move was made to "avoid confusion." Of course...

There's not much mystery left to the 2011 Audi A7, but that doesn't mean we're not up for some slow-pan ogling of the car. Almost every detail is exposed, from the multi-stage tail lights to the pop-up rear spoiler. The headlights in particular look impressive, with the line of LEDs under a...
